Bessemer.s Steel rurrets.

Sir Henry Bessemer has explained in
The London Times process by which
steel forts and turrets could be supplied
for British coaling stations with extra
ordinary dispatch, and at a very moderate
price. His plan is to cast therequired fort
In one piece. There is simple grandeur
about this idea which strongly recon-
mends it to the lay mind. Sir Henry has a
good deal to say in favor of his proposal.
Suppose we want fort with a curved face
100 feet long, 10 feet high and feet
thick. If mold made of bricks and
lined with fire clay were made. Sir Henry
states that sixteen hours would suffice for
the casting of the fort in one solid piece
of steel weighing 900 tons, requiring no
backing or superstructure for its support,
and no expensive fitting together of its
various parts, and having all its ports and
loopholes formed in the required position
by the act of casting. Boston Globe.

me zoroa..r,an Rel,,,on,

Just here comes IN the correction of a
certain error that has often been made
with regard to the Zoroastrian religion,
that Is treating It as duaIistic religion.
Nothing was further from Zoroaster's
mind than to assume anything but one
supreme being, one and indivisible. But
that everlasting problem of all thinking
minds, viz, the origin of evil and lis in
compatibility with Gods goodness, holi-
nos5 and justice, he attempted to solve
by assuming two primeval causes which,
though different, were united, and pro-
duced tho world of the material things
as well as that Of the spirit. The ons
who produced the reality is called Volln
Mano. tho good mind; the other, through
whom the nOn-reality originated, is the
Akem Mano, the naught mind. To the
frst belong all good, true and perfect
things; to the second all that is dclusive,
bad, wicked These two aboriginal
moving causes of the universe are called
twins. They are spread everywhere, in
God as In men, 1t is only in Later writ
hgs that these two are supposed to be
opposed to each other, not within Ahura-
mazda. hut without-to stand, in fact, in
the relation OF God and devil to each
other.-BOston Herald.
